All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.

San Miguel de Allende is Mexico's colonial jewel and a perennial "best city" award winner. The UNESCO-listed city center attracts wealthy international buyers, driving premium prices in the Centro, San Antonio, and Atascadero areas. While short-term rental yields are moderate, capital appreciation has been exceptional. The city's art scene, restaurants, and expat community sustain year-round appeal.
